Each room carries a specific energy. When decorating, it’s important to consider how all of the elements contribute to the look and feel of the space. We want to show you how to match window treatments to other decor elements in your home. From the kitchen to the bedroom, drapes, blinds, shades and shutters can offer everything from light control to aesthetically pleasing designs and colors.
Style and Aesthetic
These top 5 design styles showcase how certain looks are put together. And, when it comes down to the windows, window treatments can effortlessly enhance a space. Drapes and curtains often have the most visual appeal with many designs, fabrics, and colors. Shutters and shades can open and close to offer privacy and light control. Woven shades give a more natural aesthetic for a room that wants a cozy, organic look. Choosing the right window treatment is key to upping the design game for any space in the home.
Hit ‘Em Up Style
Decor styles come and go. Switch it up for the season or go timeless and chic with traditional treatments. Some style elements to consider when looking to match window treatments may include:
Traditional: Choose classic patterns to stand alone or when layered. Roman shades and blinds offer small details that offer a timeless look with bits of elegance.
Rustic: Add wood shutters or cozy, organic linens for a farmhouse-style look. Look for muted colors and casual patterns that feel charming and add warmth to a space.
Bold and Bright: Select textures and patterns that layer for a fun, vibrant look. Colorful drapes paired with blinds or shades can give a space character and depth.
Modern: Sleek window treatments and decor focus on neutral colors with low profile designs. It may seem like a “function over form” choice, but modern styling loves minimalism and a clean aesthetic.
Color Your World
Don’t hesitate to play with color. The best way to match window treatments to decor is to look at the patterns and colors in the furniture, accents and walls. Pull those in with shades of the same color or complementary tones for a more vibrant, energetic look. Natural light changes colors in the room throughout the day, so look to see how the right window treatments will highlight a space both night and day.
Bedrooms may call for more calming, muted tones, while a living room may want bolder choices to complement furniture. Have no fear; just go big and bold for a season with bright colors and patterns. Be playful with color and see how it enhances the space.
Material World
Fabrics and materials make all the difference when window treatments meet design. Linens are lightweight, airy, and relaxed while offering light-filtering properties. Velvet fabrics are heavier and more luxurious. Cotton is used in many spaces for a breezy look that is easy to layer with blinds and shades. Whatever fabric and materials are used, it is a material world, and we just live in it. Why not layer and play with designs to see what works best?
